We are still on a light vibe at home – for this “King of the Fortnight” (an event for blogs written in Portuguese) I needed to prepare a dish with cauliflower. I searched for light and healthy recipes and ended up with 2 that sounded good – this soufflé is one of them.

I love soufflés and even though this is a lighter version I wasn’t disappointed with the result – the only problem was to photograph it while still puffed. :)

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/355ºF.Place the olive oil in a large saucepan and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until lightly golden. Add the broccolini florets and cook for 5 minutes over low heat. Remove from heat and spread the florets in a soufflé pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.In a food processor or blender, process cauliflower, mayo and yogurt. Place this paste in a bowl, add the egg whites and mix gently. Season with salt.Pour this mixture over the broccolini and sprinkle with the parmesan. Bake for 20 minutes – I needed 30.Serve immediately.

This looks amazing. I have all the ingredients in my fridge right now and am fighting the temptation to make it right now! It's almost 11pm though. May wait till tomorrow!Just discovered your blog and am enjoying it very much.
